Sick setup.
11:32
Just wanted to share it 😆
11:35
PinkPanther
Keep sharing the group with everyone you think might need a hand with the raspiblitz that way main contributors can focus more on the important issues. We nonetheless are planning to report on a monthly basis of what’s going on in here.
12:00
Very cool setup Mikael, what is that pad underneath the monitor?
13:00
Kevin Yaraghi
Looks like you can now download v1.2
13:00
Apparently this image is a candidate to be the final v1.2 release
13:01
Still technically a pre-release though, so use caution
13:34

Its a Wacom Cintiq 16, but that one is not mine. My girlfriend has it for work. I wish I could draw on it but I don't even know how to draw a line.
13:41
openoms
Hi peeps! Thanks for the admin status, I may use it wisely.
13:42
A question to the chat straight:
13:43
What is the max number channels your RPi was dealing with? I have seen people had problems with the Casa node after 30ish. Mine max was 10 channels and routing actively, without any issues.
14:11
PinkPanther
I’ve had 22 i think active and the pi was working as usual
14:12
Now i have 18 i guess and no issues appart from that lack of ram sometimes that might be due to the power supply
14:12
All tests were below 1.24v
14:24
Kevin Yaraghi
I currently have 27 and haven't been having any issues
14:25
CryptoMulde ⚡️
15 channels open and steady. never had any issues. i use ssh tunnel to google cloud, never had any problems with timeouts
14:30
openoms
yeah, change it for sure and/or give extra power to the HDD with a different cable.
18:09
Bit Pac
How can I get the node a new onion address?
07:13
CryptoMulde ⚡️
you can get a new one by creating a new wallet, but not sure if it is the only way
07:13
openoms
did you try to switch off and on Tor from the services menu?
09:17
Bit Pac
I realize I would get a new address with a new wallet install. Yes I tried to switch on and off. Same onion address. I tried switching node name also. Same onion addresses still.
11:25
openoms
there is a Tor library on the HDD. Will need to move it to have a new address generated.
13:54
PinkPanther
Would be great if somehow we can implement as easily as possible the new features of bitcoin core with the raspiblitz
13:54
Essentially the hardware wallet integration.
13:55
That would defo add another layer of security to the set up
14:01
CryptoMulde ⚡️
you can connect your full node to android "green" wallet and also use greenwallet with your ledger+trezor
14:02
for layer 1 + hw wallet
14:02
even better would be electrum private server + hww + electrum
14:02
because electrum offers coin control, green does not (means you can define which outputs to spend)
14:04
for iOS i use "hodl wallet" and connected it to my raspiblitz
14:06
ZAP + ZEUS are the best LN wallets IMO
14:06
also wasabi works with ledger. only bech32 segwit native, but it works awesome. i use it on a daily basis
14:36
PinkPanther
Dont have an android
14:37
Yeh but im specifically speaking about my full node with hw
14:37
It is already possible to conmect it om the new version
14:37
Tho only using the cli
14:37
Thats why i was saying maybe it can be somehow integrated with the raspiblitz
14:39
CryptoMulde ⚡️
once bitcoind gets upgraded to new version in raspiblitz
15:46
Looks like Bitcoin Core 0.18.0 was released, wondering if it will make the cut for v1.2
15:49
CryptoMulde ⚡️
i think i read somewhere on github it will make it in v1.3

hi all! great to have a little raspiblitz chat going 😊
16:09
Kevin Yaraghi
Indeed, welcome!
16:13
PhilbertW
thanks! curious, has anyone been looking into a way to sort of create a little cluster of these nodes such that, for example, if you want to help bootstrap a friend you could just pull one out of your cluster and hand it to him/her? (preusmably they would reimburse you for the hardware of course)
16:14
obviously there are some security and privacy risks with that if one isn't careful, just an interesting thought
16:24
openoms
I am experimenting with BTRFS RAID1 disks, so you can remove a disk any time to bootstrap a new node and put an empty one to clone the data and retain the redundancy.
16:25
PhilbertW
nice, yes that's pretty similar to what i was thinking as well
16:27
though i don't have much experience setting up such a system ... which led me to think, perhaps there is a way we can use QEMU or something to virtualize raspiblitz which would allow quicker iteration/testing perhaps?
16:41
openoms
an x86 branch is prerelease as well, so you could test on a clean linux or normal virtual machine. Keep an eye on this thread:
https://github.com/openoms/raspiblitz/issues/46 ( my X86 AtomicPi has just arrived, testing is planned to commence next week)
16:42
PhilbertW
very neat!
16:43
openoms
i am trying to cover any sensible alternative platform :)
16:44
help and ideas are very welcome!
16:45
PhilbertW
yes, i think that's smart, I'll definitely checkout that issue and will try the virtualbox image
16:45
openoms
when there is new stable release I tend to advertise on twitter, but will post here as well
16:45
PhilbertW
sounds good, thanks
13:31
Isaac
Haven’t gotten started yet, wondering if people dual purpose their Pi LN with Raspiblitz. I use Pi-hole and it spikes to about 47% utilization at peak use. Can I launch Raspiblitz in its own tmux screen and run other things? Is the utilization minimal?
13:35
openoms
yes, you can multitask on the RPi given it has 4 CPUcores (only 1GB RAM tough) . It is not tested with the RPi but I am running the RaspiBlitz system, Electrs and Pi Hole on my Odroid HC1 simultaneously without problems. Let us know how it goes if you try it.
14:59
CryptoMulde ⚡️
@openoms i did not get electrs running yet. could it be a problem with my custom setup which is tunneling port 833X(custom port) 973X to an external vps? i tried to connect internally and also tried with my "home public ip" only thing i did not try is forwaring the 50001 to my vps and open it from there. could this be the issue or do you see any other "problem". idk how "electrs" works tbh. my solution currently is a small tweak because i am changing my ip manually in raspiblitz.conf in /mnt/hdd/
15:02
maybe also has to do with my adapted bitcoind ports?
15:11
Isaac
Are there manual installation instructions? Debian/Ubuntu?
15:32
CryptoMulde ⚡️
yes i never used it tough - i think only these "boards pc's" are supported
i once had the idea to run raspiblitz on an old laptop, but no success with that
15:32
plus i never used dietpi yet
15:33
but i think raspiblitz always wants the "external hdd", in my case this was not pososible
03:35
It will be the same as building your own SD card, but on the Ubuntu instead of Raspbian. The most important difference is tge processor architecture. The SBC-s supported so far are ARMv7 or ARMv8 and your miniPC is probably intel based (x86 in other words) so uses a different build/CPU instruction set. Can you share what the exact model is?
03:40
This is true to your old laptop as well. You can test again once the X86 setup is done. Your internal HDD will work. You just need any >300 GB disk and a USB stick/SD card to boot from. Can use DietPi or an Ubuntu minimal image with command line.
04:08
Isaac
I’m using a Pi3. I just like running the arm version of Ubuntu on it.
Livestradamus invited Livestradamus
12:50
openoms
The RPi is not compatible with Ubuntu. It has it's own Debian based linux flavor called Raspbian, because instead of BIOS/UEFI it runs a closed source ThreadX system to communicate with the hardware. The DietPi image for the RPi is the stripped down version of Raspbian with the DietPi menu addons. The most support is for Raspbian so I would recommend to keep using that for the RPi.
13:17
Isaac
Okay interesting, I’ll look at doing a reflash tomorrow when I have some down time. Thanks.
17:12
Choyna
Waiting for my final sync so I thought I'd start researching funding, connecting with peers and opening channels. I found this group from the Raspiblitz readme and thought I'd just say "hello". 👋
18:18
PinkPanther
Welcome
21:46
Choyna
Thanks! Looking forward to finally joining the lightning network...
23:39
Choyna
I’m going to throw a couple of questions out there for the group. Is anyone using Zap and/or LND Autopilot?
08:17
PinkPanther
Most of us use zap since its simple and clean, regarding to Autopilot i personally never recommend using it unless you know what u are doing. There will come time when autopilot its gonna get so efficient that no human will be able to beat how it performs, however, today it is much better if you manage and mantain the channels by yourself. I’d say lightning requires today bit of trust if you dont wanna be completely
#reckless
09:26
Choyna
Thank you very much for your advice! This is a new area to me and although I'm doing my own research, it helps to garner the opinions of those already actively runnig a fullnode/lightning node. Glad I joined this channel!
09:28

This is what we created the chat for; in case u have any questions dont hesitate and just ask.

Hello, I am getting some trouble with raspiblitz. I have customized successfully aspbian with raspiblitz's script. First start was somehow ok, during the boot it asked me for the root psw to execute maintancance on the system, I ctrl +d'ed and managed to login into the system through SSH.
09:44
When it comes with the HDD check/setup it asks me to format it, however the HDD already has a fully synced copy of the blockchain. If I tell the script to do not erase the HDD by clicking Cancel it just shuts it down the system.
09:45
And when I start the Raspberry again it stucks with completely white LCD and no ssh, it looks like it won't boot again.
09:45
Any hint? Bad SD card maybe?
09:47
(during the first successfull boot I received some ext4-FS error or something like that)
09:57
Choyna
Thanks, I certainly will 👍

Hi all! Have anyone upgraded from v0.99 to v1.2? The documentation have a section for how to upgrade from v1.0, v1.1 and from versions under v0.98. But is missing documentation for v0.98 and v0.99.
Is the process for v0.99 the same as for v1.0 (you just write a new SD card without closing the channels)?
12:28
Choyna
Unfortunately I don't have an answer to your question, but I hope somone else here can. If you can't get an answer in this group, I would suggest sending a quick tweet to
@rootzoll. I've tried not to bug him with too many questions during my setup, but he's been awesome at providing simple and very helpful responses. Great guy! I hope this helps.
12:31
My new RaspiBlitz is soooo close to being ready... so another quick question. I'm not too sure how many Satoshis I should fund my wallet with. I'm just looking to open some channels and get my toes wet. Any suggestions?
12:35
Mikael Flodén
I went back to the 1.1 doc on git and found that I just have to write a new SD card. Worst case I will lose my channels, but I don't have that much in them anyways. Lets see how this goes 😆
12:35
Choyna
Good luck with it! 👍
12:36
aaaaaaaaaaa
Is it ext4 mandatory for the HDD? My ssd is formatted to btrfs and it already contains a fully synced blockchain.
12:36
CryptoMulde ⚡️
i never ran into issues when upgrading blitz - backup your lnd folder tough - in case the hdd gets formatted or some weird stuff happens
12:38
i am not sure, but every way i tried when not following the blitz script were giving me headache
12:38
copying the blockchain from an external devices takes about 2hrs. so its worth to just redo it
12:41
aaaaaaaaaaa
so you suggest to backup the ssd away, let the script format it and then import it back?
13:01
aaaaaaaaaaa
ok, thank you sir
13:06
Choyna
Could you please point me in the direction of a tutorial to get my node connected & running through Zap? Thanks!
13:06
CryptoMulde ⚡️
there is a point in your blitz main menu which says "mobile"
13:06
choose zap and it will print a QR code which connects you to zap
13:07
Choyna
Thank you! Actually I just saw that on Guthub but wasn't sure how it worked. You rock!
13:08
CryptoMulde ⚡️
np - enjoy the fun
13:35
aaaaaaaaaaa
no btrfs support, needs to be ext4 :(
14:18
PinkPanther
On my end i had to forward the ports 10009 and 8080 without them it didnt not work for me last time i upgraded.
14:19
CryptoMulde ⚡️
it should work with internal IP
14:19
i am preparing my node for the update - will do it tomorrow
14:19
have to backup bunch of stuff and custom configs
15:48
PinkPanther
Did u manage to run the powertest?
15:49
What were the results? Mine stayed below 1.25 and this can be the reason why i have a lack of ram sometimes. I ordered a new to try it out.
15:50
Hanz
i don't think i did. after searching for the error i found the issue and used a different power supply. after that it worked. but doesn't mean it's the same issue/solution. just wanted to add this.
15:51
PinkPanther
Thanks.
16:24
Choyna
So would you recommend I port forward all of these: 8333 (Bitcoin/mainnet), 9735 (LND Node), 10009 (LND RPC), 8080 (LND REST API)
16:27
CryptoMulde ⚡️
Lnd rpc only if you want outside access
16:28
Choyna
May be a silly question, but would 10009 & 8080 be required fro use with Zap IOS?
16:29
CryptoMulde ⚡️
It depends. If you use it in your internal network no need to forward
16:29
Question is not silly
16:29
I don’t forward these ports and use zap on iOS with my node
16:30
If you want to control your node outside of your network with zap you need to forward the specific port
16:31
Choyna
Thank you, I appreciate your help with all this!
16:32
CryptoMulde ⚡️
Do you have Problems connecting your zap to your node?
16:35
Choyna
I haven't tried yet, I'm researching while my RaspiBlitz finishes it's initial setup sync. Takes a long time as I've had a few host drop-outs. I'm on: Blockchain Progress : 99.92% , Lightning Progress : 12.26%. Thought I'd spend the wait time learning about what to do next!
16:35
Robert
I'm busy hooking up zap atm
16:37
Choyna
Good luck with it and let us know how it goes or anything you learned that may help the group! 😁
16:39
Robert
Well I jus found out that my router has maxed out the ammount of port forwards... I never added these 😅
16:39
But will let you guys know how it goes
16:39
PinkPanther
This is exactly what was missing after my latest upgrade
16:41
Its cool using zap while you are not at home so i highly recommend you to do this.
16:41
Its an easy and simple way to send/receive payments while you are not connected to your local network
16:42
CryptoMulde ⚡️
Yes true but not necessarily needed
16:42
PinkPanther
What? Zap? Or the opening the ports?
16:43
CryptoMulde ⚡️
Allowing outside access through port forwarding
16:43
PinkPanther
I think for any mobile wallet u use it requires to open some ports, the other answer is by opening port 22 and using the node directly from the cellphone
16:43
And that’s a hell of a risk
16:44
What other method u recommend?
16:44
CryptoMulde ⚡️
just use the node when at home
16:44
PinkPanther
Well, i love using it when im not home and i have no risks as long as not port 22
16:45
At least the risk decreases by a ton. Tbh i feel great using mobile walets connexted to the node
16:45
It feels like the future 😂
16:45
CryptoMulde ⚡️
Yes I agree that’s also the way it’s meant to be
16:45
Or even more cool run the node on your phone
16:46
PinkPanther
Yeh this would be awesome at some point.
16:47
Choyna
This is great conversation to follow, thanks guys!
16:48
I'm currently also looking into Dynamic DNS services. Do you guys use one?
16:50

Already works partly with neutrino on zap
16:50
I used it on the weekend

16:51
CryptoMulde ⚡️
Nice read regarding neutrino
16:51
I used it to forward my ssh port some time
16:52
It depends on your isp. My ip barely never changes so dyndns is not really needed in my case
16:53
Choyna
I may be moving to seasonal work where I relocate twice a year. I may look into it further when the time comes.
17:05
PinkPanther
i use noip
17:05
its free up to 3 domains
17:06
Choyna
Haha, I'm on their website now...
17:06
Robert
Nee do scan the qr code for ZAP. Does not apear on the rasp screen. When I choose to do this in terminal ( in my case CMD windows) its super stretched
17:06
PinkPanther
@Choyna other thing u can always do is trying to set static ip address on your rbpi if you are familiar with it.
17:07
Choyna
Thanks, I'll look into that too!
17:11
PinkPanther
@NoSpaceCash did Stadicus remove the Static Ip address from the Raspibolt? i cant find it on the old guide.
17:15
Robert
I'm on. See my balans on zap
17:25
Robert
how many peers should I be adding? I just want to help the network itself and do my little part into adoption 😅
17:39
PinkPanther
You can add as many peers as you like... regarding channels it all depends on your goal
17:39
Ask yourself what’s going to be the main use you planning to give to lightning
17:40
Kevin Yaraghi
Let me see if I can find it for you
17:41
PinkPanther
Do you only need to pay for things? Then open channels to major stores.
Do you wanna get paid? Then ask for liquidity to hubs like lnbig or just ask for inbound liquidity here, we will provide it
Do you want to route payments? Then open channels with a lot of people and make yourself as connected as possible
Præluceo invited Præluceo
17:50
PinkPanther
it wasnt so simple to me but ok that will work i guess 🙂
17:53
Kevin Yaraghi
Every ISP is different, so my recommendation would be to google your ISP + static IP, there should be a guide that explains it in more detail
17:53
That's why I did at least
19:43
Kevin Yaraghi
Hey I recently installed v1.2 and everything seemed to go smoothly. However, only half of my channels are back online. Is this some incompatibility issue between my node and nodes running an older version of LND? It's been about 3 hours since I brought my node back online after the upgrade
20:07
PinkPanther
Most likely it is, some of my channels are inactive as well for a couple of days now and i believe is because im not sitting on the most recent version. I remember when the .5.2 was released same happened.
20:39
Choyna
Quick question... I've seen some people block out certain information when posting their RaspiBlitz screen online. Is there any need to beblocking out any information? What text on the display might be considrered private and not for public eyes? Thanks!
02:58
PinkPanther
Thats your take, i wouldn’t mind posting mine since my node is publicly advertised anyways.
02:59
But in case u wanna hide some info, public ip, node’s name and uri are some of the ways to look up for your node
05:01
Robert
Can I force the first setup assistant?
05:01
I want to replace my HDD and copy the full chain to the new hdd
05:02
CryptoMulde ⚡️
i dont get the question
05:02
i would recommend formatting the second hdd with raspiblitz setup, after that plug it to your desktop and copy from old hdd to new hdd
05:47

hi, I am trying to make my raspibilitz work with wifi, but it seems not booting up without ethernet is connected....
it stucks at "crng init done" in boot screen...
05:51
PinkPanther
I never tried the wifi with raspiblitz
05:51
But i did with raspibolt and it worked
05:52
After you flash the sd you should create a file ‘wpa_supplicant.conf’ on the sd
05:52
With some info in it
05:54
Maybe this works for you.
05:55
D
thx, let me have a look
05:55
PinkPanther
As i told you, it did worked for me. It is not recommend it but it definitely works.
06:45
D
thanks! it works!
10:05
Choyna
Okay guys, I'm up nd running! So how to I find you all to connect as a peer???
10:06
BTW, the 3 peers on the display... no idea where they came from, they were already there?...
10:41
Choyna
Thanks man, I really like the sleek and simple llk of the whole setup.
10:53
Choyna
How can I connect with you as a peer?
10:55
Hanz
We would need to exchange addresses. But mine isn't online atm. Just moved locations and need to set it up again.
10:57
Choyna
No worries, good luck with the setup and let me know when you're back online.
11:02
PinkPanther
U have the autopilot on??
11:02
I recommend you to turn it off and manage your channels manually
11:03
Share your uri we will connect with you and provide you with some liquidity
11:03
Choyna
I emember you recommending I don't use Autopilot, so i didn't activate it.
11:04
Awesome man! I'm just running around connecting a few peers at the memont. Here it is:

67.190.60.40:9735
11:19

You have to check on that cuz i dont remeber if it comes automatically switched on. Check the lnd.conf
11:20
Choyna
Let me take a look...
11:22
PinkPanther
As soon as i get home ill open you a channel, zap doesnt let me set the sats per byte i wanna use when opening a channel :(
11:23
Choyna
Looks like it's off.
11:26
Hmmm. That's strange. I just opened up a channel with someone for 20000 sats. I was told it worked and had to wait for 6 confirmations. Then attempted to open another channel and told I don't have any funds in my onchain wallet. Looks like they've been moved? Is this just beacause I have a channel confirmation in progress?
11:32
you need to wait until the first TX is confirmed
11:32
Choyna
Ah cool, thanks for that. So much to learn...
11:33
CryptoMulde ⚡️
just play with it and try around :) can't do much wrong
12:59
Kevin Yaraghi
That's a really nice case, where did you get it?
13:09
Choyna
Thanks man, I'm really pleased with it. Really compact and minimal. I bought it off Amazon. It comes with the LCD screen and an extra ventilated lid in case you decide to not use the screen. Let me find the link...
13:17
If you already have the LCD, they're also available without the screen and with the option of a cooling fan through Geekworm (and probably somewhere on Amazon but I can't find it). I think the case would also work for the LCD screen:
https://urlzs.com/kTf6
13:22
Kevin Yaraghi
Very nice, yes I actually have the second case you posted 😂
13:22
That was when I was running the Raspibolt and the fan is definitely a nice option, but I like having the LCD
13:23
Unfortunately I don't think it's compatibile with the LCD screen, I'll have to take another look when I get home
13:33
Choyna
Check it out for sure. The one I have came with a couple of heatsinks. It also came with a small pad and standoff to support the screen. This image shows the two options you have with the case.
13:43
Kevin Yaraghi
Hmm yeah now I'm curious, will definitely take a look when I get home and report back
13:45
PinkPanther
My pi came with a heatsink that i never used 🤦♂️
13:56
Choyna
Actually, I already had two quality heatsinks so I didn't need the extras with the case.
14:24
Robert
i restored the wallet with my 24 pass phrase but that also restore my onchain balans right?
14:24
Choyna
How long does it usually take to open a channel. Been a few hours and I can't see any progress.
14:25
CryptoMulde ⚡️
check your TX and see if it has 6 confirmations
14:33
Choyna
Okay, damn I can not figure out where to find my TX?
14:34
CryptoMulde ⚡️
go to terminal and type
lncli listchaintxns
15:17
PinkPanther
‘Lncli walletbalance’ will print the confirmed/unconfirmed balance
15:18
This a complicated topic. Last time i tried restonting my wallet from the 24 words i didnt get either onchain nor off chain balance
15:19
Only when i brought the walletdb that you can find in the lnd folder my onchain balance started to showing up
15:19
Then to recover the channels and offchain balance i had also to bring the channeldb otherwise i would be rekt right now
15:20
I changed several times the look up window but that really didnt help
17:59
Robert
So the channel.backup is stored on the SD disk as well on the HDD itself. Anyone knows the path on the HDD?
19:29
Robert
ah found it. restored using the 24 word phrase and channel.backup. But as I thought, 0 Sats as balans
19:47
PinkPanther
Do you have the lnd folder where your previously created that wallet?
19:48
Try recovering the walletdb as well, it wont modify anything related with the channels just on chain balance

Does anyone else have issues with checking your Detailed Wallet Balances (lnbalance) and Lightning Channel List (lnchannels) from the Main Menu? When attempting to select them from the Main Menu, I'm getting these error codes: .
/00mainMenu.sh: line 109: lnbalance: command not found and .
/00mainMenu.sh: line 119: lnchannels: command not found. Any ideas?
08:05
openoms
that is because the broken Stadicus link. Did you download the sd-image or built yourself?
08:08
PinkPanther
Is that happening on the latest version?
08:08
openoms
remove the old
91addBonus.sh:
rm 91addBonus.shrun the modified script to fix:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gabrieldov/raspiblitz/851326886a72c2c9c2e99aa0f9ed324914579ca2/home.admin/91addBonus.sh && sudo bash 91addBonus.sh
08:14
Yeah PinkPanther, it's version 1.2. I downloaded it a few days ago.
08:16
Should I runf that script below the errors in the menu locations? Or in the console / terminal?
08:18
openoms
run it from the /home/admin directory in the terminal. That is the deafult directory or get there with cd ~.
08:21
Choyna
Gonna go for it. Have to admit I'm a little nervous...
08:22
openoms
read what it does to dispell your fear
08:22
or wait for someone else to try
08:25
sorry deleted, the space between the two &-s . Touchscreen pains.
08:25
Choyna
Thanks, I'll try it.
08:27
I just ran the script. This was at the end:
OK - bash completion available after next login
type "bitcoin-cli getblockch", press [Tab] → bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo
08:27
Do I need to log out and back in again? So sorry, totally new to this.
08:28
openoms
not for the lnchannels
08:28
run raspiblitz and you will be back to the menu
08:30
Choyna
I really appreciate your help, but unfortunately I'm still getting the same errors 😕
08:32
openoms
try to log back in
08:34
just type lnbalance to the console to test
09:00

lnbalance and lnchannels commands are fixed with the new links from Stadicus

Okay, what are some of your addresses or aliases. The terrible weather has me stuck inside and I feel the need to open channels this afternoon!
18:20
PinkPanther
u need some liquidity?
18:22
openoms
connections are always welcome. Any of you behind Tor?
18:25
PinkPanther
not mine, im publicly advertised
18:25
openoms
with a public IP same channels appear randomly by nodes using autopilot. It did not happen behind Tor yet, probably people using Tor not using autopilot.
18:26
PinkPanther
i dont think those using autopilot are running behind tor unless they want to make some testing tbh
18:28
openoms
I rather strengthen the private side of the network. I think Tor should be the default.
18:29
My VPN does not support port forwarding, Tor solves that also
18:31
Anyway to connect from a clearnet node the Tor node needs to add it as peer. There is no restriction the other way round.
18:32
it works as kind of a spam filter also. No random dead end connections to LNBig or alike.
18:38
PinkPanther
yeh this is me: 02d14f6c58b33c197ef0a51655a08df19bc91b2dcbe80dae2c22979af235cc5b3b@
88.25.43.112:9735
18:41
this might be a good thing if you want to route more payments. it also provides free liquidity
18:42
but i also agree with this one too. tor should be the default
18:45
openoms
Yes, there are tradeoffs for now, but autopilot is less then beta, there is so much room for improvement. The idea is it is only your public key needed to participate, not the IP. It is an unnecessary metadata which is better not shared, so there is less chance of abuse.
18:46
PinkPanther
i agree autopilot will get stupidly efficient at some point that no human will be able to beat
18:47
and yes, we are giving out to much info
18:50
openoms
there are many big nodes with 10+ BTC capacity. Imagine the price at 100x. It is a huge honeypot.
18:52
It is also fun to look at LN as a financial-social network. I rather choose who I connect to. Also knowing my peers helped saving funds before we had Static Channel Backups.
18:53
Choyna
CubanLebowski?
05:08
Robert
Good morning!
05:09
How can it be that I have a negative maturity closing channel value ?
05:51
PinkPanther
Maturity closing channel value?
06:12
Closed a Chanel and the maturity went into a negetive number. I’m afraid this channel will be on pending for ever?
09:01
Choyna
Quick question. I had to power off my Raspiblitz yesterday for around 20 minutes. My channels are slowly getting back online. But after half a day only 7 of 15 are back. Anyone know if I need to do anything to help the process?
09:03
PinkPanther
Maybe there are some incompatibilities with lightning versions
09:03
Its ok, some of my channels are also down
09:04
openoms
can try to connect to your channel peers manually. Or ask them to connect if they are behind Tor.
09:05
Choyna
Thanks guys. How would I connect manually?
09:06
openoms
connect to a peer either from the RaspiBlitz menu or RTL. Needs the nodeid and IP address.
09:06
PinkPanther
Why would he have to connect again?
09:06
openoms
can look those up on 1ML
09:06
PinkPanther
If he connected with them once, thats enough.
09:08
openoms
See that you have a peer connection to everynode you have a channel with +some others. Without the peer connection the channel is offline.
09:09
If the IP of the peer changed or is behind Tor it won't come back online from his side.
09:09
PinkPanther
Hmm, as far as im concerned if you already have a channel they should all be back online eventually unless the other party is having issues or some incompatibilities detected
09:10
I dont know about tor :(
09:10
But regarding publicly advertised channels i have had friend that the ip changed and out channel got automatically updated
09:10
openoms
indeed with time once the other party connects. The question was about how to speed up the process.
09:10
PinkPanther
Ah ok :)
09:12
openoms
The thing with Tor is that it is asymetric. One can see outside from the dark, but you cannot see inside from the clear.
09:13
PinkPanther
Exactly... tor intrigues me a lot
09:13
openoms
switch it on then :). No need to close channels. Only your IP will change to. onion.
09:13
PinkPanther
I couldnt agree more with what you said that it should be the default
09:14
What hits me the most is that no mobile support yet right?
09:14
I use that node a lot thru my cellphone
09:14
Is super convinient
09:14
openoms
you can still connect through your home IP, that does not change
09:15
PinkPanther
True, but that means that i havw to open port 22 to connect from everywhere
09:15
And that expose me to a lot of risks
09:16
openoms
you have no ports forwarded currently to your RaspiBlitz?
09:16
PinkPanther
Yes i do
09:16
Bur i have the ufw open to only lan
09:17
openoms
you don't need ssh to connect a mobile wallet
09:17
it works the same if the node is behind tor
09:17
PinkPanther
Break it down for me please?
09:17
openoms
just not advertising your IP to the public
09:18
PinkPanther
So i just open the ports same way i have done it all this time and that’s it?
09:19
openoms
yes,no change in that at all.
09:19
You might just need to reconnect the same way again because the SSL certificates might change
09:20
CryptoMulde ⚡️
ssh port 22 is not needed for mobile wallet connection
09:21
Choyna
Just ssh'd in. I may have a few less peers, but I honestly can't remember how many I had before shutdown. I might just try to reconnect as a peer with the ones that have closed channels.
09:23
PinkPanther
Understood, i might even switxh to tor today
09:23
I might give it a try
09:23
openoms
check your channel list. Lookup the offline peers on
1ml.com and add them as a peer.
09:23
Choyna
Thanks man. Going to do that now.
09:23
PinkPanther
1ml bit outdated
09:24
openoms
It can be switched off if you don't like it or something does not work the way you liked.
09:24
PinkPanther
Check ‘lncli listchannels’ for inactive channels
09:24
openoms
or lnchannels for the eyecandy
09:25
CryptoMulde ⚡️
so do we still forward port 8333 and 9375 with tor? how does it work from a technical perspective?
blitz ip —> forward to home ip 8333 and 9735 —> to tor network
09:27
openoms
you don't need to forward bitcoind(8333) nor lnd(9735) because it will channelled through Tor (like a VPN). You can switch off those forwardings. Your Tor address will remain green.
09:28
CryptoMulde ⚡️
cool
09:28
i will check that out once i have some spare time
09:28
updated to v1.2 yesterday and took me some hours to get it back where i wanted it to be :D
09:29
openoms
add their node as a peer 😂
09:37
Choyna
Looks like I'm still peers with all 8 inactive channels. Maybe I'll just be patient as see what happens. Thanks again!
09:46
openoms
Interesting. I had trouble connecting to c-lightning nodes with the new LND.
09:51
Choyna
I'll keep you updated!
12:14
openoms
This has to do with the current on-chain fees.
https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,24h When those spike a bigger part of the balance will be spent on the closing transaction fee. In this case the fees are likely much higher then when you opened the channel and also the channel is likely to be small. You can have look at the channel point (opening) transaction and the closing transaction in a block explorer (
blockstream.info) to find about the details. Of you do please share the numbers with us.
12:25
CryptoMulde ⚡️
i will be there
12:29

Great, me too! :) Exciting I haven't even meet rootzoll or in fact any other raspiblitzer yet.

Hi, guys!
tell me in a non-trivial question how to reduce the zoom QR code in the Putty for Zeus?
Ctrl- not work👀
17:56
Björn
Do you have a LCD on your Raspiblitz?
17:56
openoms
from menu bar on top? CTRL + mouse scroll?
18:03
Evgeniy
LCD is available, but the stylus does not work
18:04
it just doesn't work (
18:05
I am deploying a virtual machine with Linux for a full ssh
18:27
Björn
Which version of raspiblitz do you run? Version 1.2 shows the QR code on the display to connect your node with Zeus.
18:27
PinkPanther
i have tried both windows ( CTRL plus +/- ) Mac ( CMND plus -/+ )
18:32
Evgeniy
I am using version 1.2
18:33
What terminal application do you use?
18:33
PinkPanther
For windows putty, Mac terminal
18:34
Evgeniy
for Windows I use Putty latest version 0.71
18:36
PinkPanther
in case it doesnt work you can use extra putty
18:37
i think is a fork of putty with lot of features
18:37
Evgeniy
In the info menu, click show the QR code. QR code shows only in the terminal putti, but not lcd rasiblittz
18:43
Yes, I downloaded fork ExtraPutty..only one application can do zoom through scrolling mouse.
But it does not help, it does not reduce the size..
18:44
So size is still insufficient
18:45
it would be convenient to send a QR code to LCD Raspiblitz right away
18:53
PinkPanther
i thought that was possible
18:54
but i dont use the lcd screen 🙁
02:11
openoms
if you run the same lndconnect command in the terminal with the option --image it generates a .png picture file which you can download with scp and open on your windows.
02:20
Björn
I have used the menu entry 'mobile wallets->zeus (Android)' and after that on the display is the qr code available.
04:34

Maybe try „kitty“

Hi again, I set up raspiblitz and it's running. I activated the TOR service. Now I would like to use on a local client Wasabi Wallet and make it connect to raspblitz. Have I got to disable TOR on wasabii, let both of them run it or what?
13:40
openoms
luckily you cannot disable Tor on Wasabi :). Tor does not do anything on your local network, so you only need to point the Wasabi config file to your local RaspiBlitzIP. That is it. Wasabi will pull blocks from your RaspiBlitz and still broadcast transactions through Tor.
13:42
CryptoMulde ⚡️
do i have any advantage besides saving traffic?
13:46
openoms
good question, not really I think. Wasabi uses Neutrino-like client side filtering which means it pulls each necessary block (to look up your balances) from a different peer through Tor. Privacy is kept without a full node. Still if you run a full node on the same machine (localhost) it will pull from that automatically and you can point it to anywhere to try to download from a trusted node (like your RaspiBlitz).
13:47
CryptoMulde ⚡️
i dont care for traffic, if this would be my only advantage
13:49
openoms
The advantage is in security, that you know that you have validated the blockchain on your full node with software which was also validated o. a hardware you have put together yourself. This preserves your decision right in a situation with reorgs, UASF, forks etc.
13:49
CryptoMulde ⚡️
ok. i see the point now
13:49
i am relying on my code and hardware
13:49
openoms
So yes you should run a full node and use it as much as possible.
13:50
CryptoMulde ⚡️
i even run two full nodes, but i was not able to connect my wasaabi to my node
13:50
because i could not verify if it works :D
13:52
openoms
indeed there is no easy way to tell if Wasabi is downloading from your node for now. This is a UX limitation and likely will be improved, but not high priority.
13:52
CryptoMulde ⚡️
i edited the config and replaced
127.0.0.1 with my local raspiblitz IP, maybe it even worked but i did not know
13:52
i tried to check the logs as some guys mentioned in wasabi group, but no way i found anything useful
13:55
openoms
That is how far I got as well. 👍
14:10
aaaaaaaaaaa
I have read that you can try to remove some blocks on wasabi side, let the client download it again and check the logs
14:10
CryptoMulde ⚡️
yes i tried
14:12
aaaaaaaaaaa
I have no idea then, I am sorry.
14:15
Robert
hmm, I'm getting underpowered errors. While I'm using a 3.1a 5v adapter

The true output might be lower. Check for a broken cable and corroded connections. Best to test with an other power supply.
15:37

Well it’s a new one

17:50
should I whitelist client's local IP on the raspberry bitcoind's conf file?
17:56
^ yeah that made the trick
22:19
Choyna
I would for sure, but I'm not running behind TOR 😔
22:36
Choyna
Just wondering... How many satoshis are you using to fund new channels? Is it worth opening channels with only 20,000 satoshis?
05:42
openoms
I would not open channels below ~500k satoshis. Currently it limits the maximum payment you can make/ route through that channel and your funds can be stuck if fees go up. See:
https://t.me/raspiblitz/475
07:55
aaaaaaaaaaa
Any idea why bitcoind is stuck on 99.97% sync?
08:30
PinkPanther
How u synching?
08:36
aaaaaaaaaaa
Sorry what do you mean? I have synced the hdd on another pc but now it has been connected to the raspberry for one day
08:46
Lighting syncing process dropped to 99.98% as well.
09:48
PinkPanther
Ok i thiught u were synching via internet. Try restarting lightning and bitcoind
09:48
That usually makes the magic
10:18
aaaaaaaaaaa
Ok, thank you but it didn't work. I just synced it back on another client
14:26
aaaaaaaaaaa
It happened again, it looks like it "loses ground" and can't keep itself up to date.
14:27
I have added EPS as well
14:29
what is the best way to disable LND on startup without messing it up? I am not using it so maybe I can stop it to free the system
14:52

Maybe power failure? Have u run the powertest?

my node (v1.1) moved cities. after being shut-off for serveral days it synced the blockchain and seemed to be ok. but then couldn't start bitcoind.
i updated to v1.2 now but still getting:

The bitcoind service is not running.
any ideas? i searched the issues but couldn't find something matching/helpful.
11:07
Kevin Yaraghi
What do you mean by moved locations?
11:07
Hanz
i moved it physically from one city o to another :D
11:14
Kevin Yaraghi
Lol oh, that's a good question. You'll need to reconfigure the IP address and everything, might be easier to just start back up from scratch unless someone has a better method
11:41
Hanz
uhm... i didn't have any channels open or anything. a bit money on the wallet. it basically wasn't in use. how is moving it an issue with an IP and might be related to bitcoind? didn't expect that.
11:44
CryptoMulde ⚡️
Where does it need reconfiguration
11:44
LN refreshes after ip changes
11:44
It should not make any difference

Try sudo systemctl status bitcoind

right, i do not think this is my issue. not sure why bitcoind isn't starting though.

Hi everybody. Does anyone has some experience with opening ports for raspiblitz on a router from SALT (provider in switzerland). I actually don´t really know what to enter into the field trigger port / publich port
11:53
Evgeniy
My ISP interferes with traffic at the filtering internet packets level and blocks packets by signatures connect apps. I'm looking for a way to use a similar apps
GoodbyeDPI, but for faking signature templates other apps
11:57
This is portmapping, you can specify.
TriggerPort 8333 and 9735 on the same public 8333 and 9735
11:57
Andy
hm thans. already tried this but ip address is still red
12:02
and you need to check the firewall
14:27
Robert
And check the little “enabled” checkbox 🤪
14:42
Andy
doesnt help. tried all
14:43
over TOR in works. fine for me
17:51
ok,so speaking about Deep Packet Inspection. Generally I think using SSL/HTTPS and/or Tor would make that useless. Also could play around with different ports if your ISP is limiting Bitcoin (8333) or LND (9735) specifically.
Here is a helper script to help setting up the HTTPS connection for RTL:
https://github.com/openoms/bitcoin-tutorials/blob/master/nginx/README.md

Yes, my first decision was to use a SSTP with a certificate on my VPS, but my Raspiblittz kept on high ping ~160ms and uptime 2 days.
I tracked my Raspiblitz via
bitnodes.earn
18:02
My problem is that the connection of my Raspiblittz, which was thrown through a my server SSTP, after some time, dropped the connection to port 8333 👀
18:04
Through the TOR, the connection keeps up for quite a while
18:05
openoms
How about a second router configured with openVPN to encrypt everything and using Tor connected to that ( as there is no port forwarding through most of the VPN providers)
18:06
Evgeniy
the total number of peers on a bitcoin node when connected via a torus reaches ~39-40 max peer, ping ~70ms
18:07
Evgeniy
LND peer ~3 connection
18:08
openoms
that sounds right. You don't need a low latency bitcoin node unless mining heavily
18:08
Evgeniy
I also suggested that the fault in the operator of the VPS
18:09
need to try the option with openvpn, over TCP will be enough?
18:10
or better through udp?
18:10
openoms
sure, TCP is the default . UDP is more for video streaming.
18:25
Evgeniy
Also interest in the possibility of establishing a connection OpenVPN within the box Raspiblittz..
Need to install packages for this?
18:31
openoms
Sounds good if your VPS router is outside of your home (I presume)
18:31
otherwise you would just encrypt and then decrypt your traffic and achieve nil
18:31
Evgeniy
The onboard openVPN client in the box "" will be optimal for SBC Raspberry Pi 3+ ?
18:34
yes i have a light vps for 2 euro / mo i can install an openVPN server there
18:35
openoms
good plan! Never tried OpenVPN on the Pi, but should be straightforward. DietPi has it built in.
18:35
Evgeniy
this is a great idea! jointly you
18:37
Yes, I heard about the DietPi as an interesting project

Hello there, is it considered to be safe to run Samba as well on the raspiblitz? Ufw allowing only local client IPs
19:43
or would it be an unnecessary risk?
02:51
openoms
If you use lnd autounlock the password is stored incleartext on the HDD (this is explained when you activate it) otherwise it depends on yiur LAN security. Are ports open? Do you access it the network from the outside? Is anyone else using it?
02:52
The RPi-s network speed is be also quite limited with 100Mb/s LAN and USB2.
02:58
People in this group, how did you get here? It is only the github issue where this Telegram group is advertised so far?
03:04
PinkPanther
Myself and
@CryptoMulde created the group with the consensus of rootzoll but we didnt want to advertise it much on github since we thought rootzoll wanted more people asking questions there
03:04
But if you guys think this is helpful group maybe we can all tweet so more people who needs help with raspiblitz can join
03:05
I see lot of people asking questions about the blitz on the lightning group and i never forward those concern to this group cuz maybe thats unethical
03:06
Also, maybe we can open an issue on the raspiblitz repo as well so we can have a post only for this matter. Maybe even rootzoll and fluidvoice are eager to join once we have a decent amount of users.
03:07

03:12

I think it works well and as intended for people who just want to have a quick question. It is good to keep as RaspiBlitz specific as possible especially if more people join. It might be good to advertise it more. Asking
@rootzoll in the github issue and then making a PR to the README to be included for the v1.3 is a way to go imo.
03:13

19:12
I'd be curious to know what the optimal number of channels is though, and what starts to happen when you go past that number
20:05
Brad
There's no exact max number because the amount of RAM used (mostly by lnd) depends on various things. lnd can use more or less RAM based on network connectivity for example. You can test it out yourself by just increasing num channels and keep an eye on available RAM.

Velcro tape, hot melt glue. Various ways

No it's not. But the HDMI output will stop one the LCD driver loads. You can connect a keyboard to the Pi and hit Alt+F2 or Ctrl+Alt+F2 to open a terminal prompt to login. Then you can run 'ifconfig' or 'ip address show' to see the nodes IP address to SSH into it.

Hey guys! I understand when a node is offline/inactive that it is displayed red in lnchannels like the channel at the top of the list. But does anyone know what's going on with the channel that is red and states 'no response'? Is that something different to a node that is temporarily offline? It's been like this for a while and I'm not exactly sure what it means. Thanks!
11:23
PinkPanther
There’s no clear answer for that. Maybe some incompatibilities with the version or software run by the other party and yourself or maybe he’s just offline for maintenance or some unexpected issue.
11:25
Whenever you plan to have a considered amount of sats in a channel you should have a lil bit of trust on the other party or at least know how to contact him/her in case something goes extremely wrong you know he wont cheat on you.

Download & install Winscp. Run Winscp and connect to your Raspberry Pi with admin and Password A. Navigate to /mnt/hdd/bitcoin/ and copy from the 3 folders from your Windows onto the Raspberry Pi.

Hey, I've created this tutorial, if your Raspiblitz showing the message "Login... " that means that it is connected to your router, so the wpa_supplicant.conf file was created properly. (I used wrong credentials once and raspiblitz wasn't happy).
This error looks like your computer can't find connection to the raspiblitz in the local network.
Troubleshooting:
check if a computer you are connecting to (ssh) raspiblitz is on the same network (same router, same wifi credentials). It shouldn't matter which software you are using (putty, winscp or mobaxterm). You also may try logging into your router and setting your raspiblitz IP as static, maybe the router is shuffling it somehow, the explanation is in my latest video. Don't hesitate to ask further questions, we are all here learning and willing to help! 😊

Install and try Putty. At least then you'll be using what many other Windows users are and can get more help

You running on tor? I believe that you have to add the peers first
07:04

Sweet I have something to listen to on the way to work, thanks! Oh, and welcome to the Blitzers group! 🙂⚡

You have to add me first as a peer
09:45
I can not add you if you are on tor
09:45
Can anyone here confirm this? Im not running behind tor.
09:50

you can open channels to anyone from behind Tor, but add the peer as the first step.

The thing with Tor is that it is asymetric. One can see outside from the dark, but you cannot see inside from the clear.

Hey guys, I’m interested in integrating a ssh tunnel proxy support in raspiblitz, anyone have experience with adding functionality to the project?
11:44
Orek
Im using autossh lib in order to keep a persistent connection to public facing server.
11:47
There is a need to swap ssh keys between the the servers, thats a ux issue
11:48
Ah the python script does use autossh.
11:49
So ya that looks good

really need an idiot guide to ssh so that mobile wallet can connect to the raspberry pi. i cant figure out how to set it up 😅
14:09
CryptoMulde ⚡️
no need for ssh to connect a mobile wallet
14:23
Collin | Shrimp
From outside connection? Say I’m out at a restaurant..
14:23
CryptoMulde ⚡️
you dont need ssh port for that
14:37
PinkPanther
@Collin_X extremely easy to setup zap or shango with ddns
14:40
is the direct URL suppose to looks like this?
14:57
PinkPanther
I used noip
15:07
Collin | Shrimp
weird. not working
00:29
Collin | Shrimp
Got it working with noip. Much easier. Should use this for the guide instead

Hey guys, my node has been offline the last couple days and I'm trying to figure out what's wrong (LCD screen says the LND service is not running). I ran a debug report and there are a few things that look concerning. I'll break it up with a few screenshots so it's not just a huge wall of text. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!
11:17
CryptoMulde ⚡️
did you try a reboot?^^
11:17
Kevin Yaraghi
Yes several times
11:18
PinkPanther
Did u check if your external ip matches the same on tje lnd.conf?
11:35
Kevin Yaraghi
IP matches, I'm using dynamic DNS
11:36
PinkPanther
You using dns to connect to zap i guess?
11:37
The other day i had this issue. My external ip changes from times to times and that makes me modify the lnd.conf so i can match my external ip otherwise my node is unreachable
11:37
But lnd was normally running, unreachable, but running.
11:37
Kevin Yaraghi
Yeah it seems I'm having a different problem
11:38
Hardware test indicates there could be a power supply issue but I don't think this would prevent me from starting LND
12:54
Kevin Yaraghi
Anyone mind giving me some assistance with retrieving channel.backup file?
14:15
Kevin Yaraghi
Thanks yeah, after doing some research I found others with the same issue on github. Have you been able to resolve it?
14:55
Björn
No, I haven't solved it yet.
15:05
Kevin Yaraghi
Is there a safe/easy way to force close all channels while in this state so I can bring funds back to onchain wallet and retrieve them through backup seed?

Hi
I am installing raspiblitz and it is 30 minutes ago with the following message ... is it correct?
Reached target system initialization
15:26
Isaac
Has anyone tried pointing the Raspiblitz to a local full node or two rather than syncing locally or is that required? Is an SPV option in the works?
Peter Bosch invited Peter Bosch

PinkPanther
Do u already have access to your pi?
16:38
Cant you close your channels cooperatively?
16:41
Brad
This is from the HDMI monitor right? Do you have an LCD connected to you Pi?
16:53
RaspiFefo
Hdmi monitor
17:04
Peter Bosch
last line from HDMI monitor = starting system logging services
open up a terminal (OSX/Win10) and connect thru SSH with the command displayed by the RaspiBlitz:ssh admin@[YOURIP] → use password: raspiblitz Now follow the dialoge in your terminal. This can take some time (prepare some coffee) - but in the end you should have a running Lightning node on your RaspberryPi . configuring mij 2nd node😉 prepare some coffee
17:06
Kevin Yaraghi
I’m not sure that I can, none of the lncli commands work
17:07
PinkPanther
But u had a backup of your lnd right?
17:07
If so theres no need to close all cjsnnels
17:07
Brad
what happened when you tried lncli closechannel ?
17:08
still "edge not found"?
17:09
Kevin Yaraghi
I’ll tell you in a sec, will be in front of a computer shortly
17:09
But yeah I’m also dealing with the “edge not found” problem
17:17
RaspiFefo
I will try.. thanks!
17:30
Kevin Yaraghi
Tried closing the channel, as expected I got the following error "[lncli] rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = all SubConns are in TransientFailure, latest connection error: connection error: desc = "transport: Error while dialing dial tcp
127.0.0.1:10009: connect: connection refused"
